The amount of these free chargers around right now is a drop in the ocean compared to what's needed when EV ownership picks up and those without home charging options start buying because they have to.
Personally, as someone with home charging, digging my lead out, uncoiling it, plugging it in and then re-coiling it and putting it back for 15 miles of charge...I can't be bothered.
I'm going to Costco later. Am I really going to pester the busy tyre guys to activate a charger for for me? Nope.

I was at Costco earlier. They have 1 charging point with 2 plug ins. The 2 cars parked there and plugged in would probably be lucky to scrape 2 miles per kWh.
Although EV ownership is still pretty low, the meagre amount of chargers out there still have quite a high likelihood of being occupied before you get there. For me that makes it even more important to to home charge if you can.
